A. Look at the diagram. When the switch is closed, which of the following statements about the capacitor will be true?

The charge on the capacitor will increase and the potential difference across it will increase

3
New cards

When the capacitor is fully charged, the potential difference across it will be:

Equal to the e.m.f. of the cell
